Let's jump in the way-back machine for a moment, and travel back to a simpler time. A time when the world was filled with the jangling sounds of the folk underground, urban angst, and a struggle to end the war. Wait, that sounds like right now!

That's what makes the sounds of The Dutchess and the Duke seem so relevant. They may be a throwback to a past era, but their purity of sound and spirit make the whole experience inviting. There's a deep influence of the Stones and Bob Dylan here, as played out in the MP3 of "Reservoir Park". It's also reminiscent of the life-force that early Brian Jonestown Massacre was known for tapping into.
